Profile:
Quietly efficient is the adjective most used to describe
Krishnamurthy's work behind the stumps and that is not being off the
mark. He was not flamboyant or showy but performed his duties very
well. Making his Ranji Trophy debut when only 17, Krishnamurthy
improved by leaps and bounds and by 1971 was first choice wicketkeeper
in the absence of Farokh Engineer - even when he had not played a
Test. He played in all five matches in that series in the Caribbean
and had the good fortune of being a member of a side which won a
rubber against the West Indies for the first time. He also toured
England later that year but Engineer was back and he kept in the
Tests. However Krishnamurthy in nine first class matches had 24
dismissals. Krishnamurthy continued to play first class cricket till
the end of the 70s and by the time he retired, he had 218 dismissals,
150 of them caught. (Partab Ramchand)
